Yes It is built from plans. I was trying to collect the parts list when this pre built one became available. She is lighter than the dragonforce depending how much paint and glue you use, and the bulb is a lot smaller. The hull is 4 balsa sheet sheets coated in resin and a sheet for the deck. I can see if I can share the plans, they are freely available to my club members.
It is a very old design and not as adjustable for the conditions as a df65 with df having different rigs - though there is no reason not to have rigs for this. I think it is an adjusted df rig anyway.
The method of sheeting in is a lot faster too so it feels responsive compared to the 4 turn servo on the df, this uses a long servo arm.
She looks a lot nicer to me than a df but you would probably get laughed at if you entered an rg national with it... That is until they see the light wind performance.

Yes it is called a jif 65 and is rg65 class legal.

That's interesting Nick,

The Dragon Force 65 has been on my "to buy" list for some time now and I hadn't considered anything else (apart from the bigger size Dragon Flight 95).

If it makes the Dragon Force 65 feel like it is "sailing in treacle" (by comparison) maybe I should take a look at this design instead?

Please let me know what the yacht is called (Jif 65?) and advise if I would need to build it from plans or if it is available as a kit.

Many thanks,

Bob.
